We’ve just released the latest set of SynthaSite features. The highlight is that the color palette of many of our styles can now be changed. We were really keen to get this feature out as soon as possible so that we could get your feedback so please let us know what you think! In the future we will make it possible for you to set individual properties of the style so that you can customize the look of your site to your hearts content. We’ll be rolling out many more color palettes over the next couple of weeks so please check back soon for updates.

Another highlight is the File Widget which is useful if you want your site visitors to download a file from your website. We’ve also added map markers to the Google Map Widget. We don’t want anyone getting lost now do we!?

For detailed information about the latest changes and bug fixes please refer to our release notes.

Both the website and Site Builder were updated yesterday.

We always include a number of improvements that are not obvious, but that make the tools and hosting environment better. You can view a list of the tangible updates here. If I were to pick a personal favourite it would be that there are now 24 styles that allow you to change your banner image, something that a lot of you have been asking for.

Other highlights include some excellent tutorials and the ability to invite friends from your existing networks and address books. This means you can help us spread the word about SynthaSite, and in the future you can choose to connect to some of those people (if they agree) from within SynthaSite - doing things like letting them know about website updates and even collaborating on a site together.

We have rolled out new updates to both the Site Builder and our website.

The Site Builder now boasts a bunch of new features which will allow you to add forms, maps, Google AdSense and other widgets and gadgets to your sites. There are new Styles to choose from and it is now easy to manage all types of resources and link to them.

We have also put some effort into making it easier to get going with your first SynthaSite - we have tutorials on how to create, populate and publish your site, as well as Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and searchable support. There are some site and profile management features accessible directly from the website once you have logged in.

You can read the release notes for full detail.
